Caution:
Accessible parts may
be hot when the oven is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The main oven is a fanned electric
oven.
To switch on the oven
Turn the main oven control knob
clockwise to the desired temperature.
Note:
The red thermostat indicator will
come on until the selected temperature
is reached and then go off. It will turn
on and off periodically as the thermo-
stat operates to maintain the selected
temperature.
To switch off,
return the control to the
“
l
” off position.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen and chilled food, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges, otherwise preheating is not
necessary, as a fan oven warms up
quickly.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
neon switches off for the first time; this
will take between 5 - 15 minutes,
depending on the temperature selected.
To help the air to circulate freely
l
Position the shelves evenly within
the oven and maintain a clearance
from the oven roof and base.
l
If more than one cooking dish or
baking tray is to be used on a shelf
leave a gap of at least 25mm
between the items themselves and
the oven interior.
l
Allow enough space between
shelves for food that will rise
during cooking.
l
Do not place items on the oven
base as this will prevent air from
circulating freely.
Notes:
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven. When opening the oven door,
care should be taken to avoid any p o s-
sible contact with potentially hot air,
since this may cause discomfort to people
with sensitive skin. We recommend
that you hold the underneath of the
oven door handle.
